But in the end, three Lady Trojans qualified for the state meet held Saturday in Plymouth.

Qualifying in all-around was Sheyenne Melchi.

“This was her first year going to state as an all-around competitor and she did an excellent job,” coach Stacey Keim said of Melchi. “To be able to place 10th as an individual is a good way for her to end her senior year.”

She competed in all four events and placed 10th individually at the state finals in Division 2. She had a combined score of 35.075 at the event.

Melchi took 24th on the vault with a score of 8.85, 20th on the bars with a score of 8.375, 14th on the balance beam with a score of 8.85 and 20th on the floor exercise with a score of 9.0.

Also competing at the finals were Alexis Janes, a sophomore, and exchange student Serena Carotenuto.

Janes placed 35th on the balance beam with a score of 8.0 in the event.

“For Alexis to be there for the first time as a sophomore was great,” Janes said. “To get that kind of experience can build a lot of confidence. She’s a good gymnast and this experience will help her lead the team next year.”

Carotenuto qualified on the floor exercise. She had a score of 8.775 in the event and placed 33rd individually in that event.

“For Serena to experience the state meet was great for her,” Keim said.
